Lost in the shuffle this week: Somebody is burning churches.....

[frenchdefense]

What's all this about ?


6 churches in a week sounds kind of coordinated to me.

This is not good.

Why is no one talking about this ?

 

[Tallguy88]

They're talking about it in N&CE.

7 now. And apparently they aren't "related" yeah right. After this horrible shooting in a church people find it okay to go after the black churches now. It's really sad. We need to pray that this doesn't keep happening. Racism is always going to be alive and well, but seriously. We're in 2015. People need to stop.

The weird thing to me is that if a church gets torched in the middle east somewhere we get a thread that goes 100 posts on how horrible it is.

We have epidemic of church fires here in America can no one seems interested.

I honestly think it's because a lot of people truly don't care. Or maybe because they aren't Catholic Churches? I'm not talking about people in the forum but in general. It's not even big news. Nobody seems to give a crap at all. It's depressing really.

thank you so much for sharing this
this is horrible news

I am not able to listen to it right now (I do not have any headphones here and I will have to wait till I get back home to listen to it)

do they have any leads on who is behind it?

it is so sad to see African-Americans targeted like this

why does it have to be one or the other? like I think both are horrible

I just heard of this
and I am not being dismissive of what is happening in the South, this is scary, this is really bad and I am not sure what to do about it
do we have any leads yet?
but yeah, it is not "a church" getting torched in the middle east

"In Baghdad alone, since 2003, 40 of the city’s 65 churches have been bombed. In all, more than 100 churches across Iraq, many of them ancient churches where Christians have worshipped continually for centuries, have been attacked, bombed, or destroyed entirely."

or look during the Arab Spring in Egypt, there were weekends where 20 or 30 churches would be attacked over 2 days time

7 is really really bad for the USA
this makes my heart sick
but we do not even know who is responsible for this yet
are they connected? or is it a bunch of "lone wolf" terrorists who are just inspired by all this garbage going on?

How terribly sad.
...and peculiar...

From what it looks like, it's probably someone that's trying to continue what Dylann Roof did when he tried to start a civil war again. I read his manifesto and he was deeply disturbed. All that aside I have heard many white supremacists are mad that he was even arrested and are trying to continue his so called "legacy"

 

[AvilaSurfer]

Where is this not being talked about? It's all over the place. Do we base our perceptions on what happens on a message board?

 

[Rhamiel]

this is so messed up

they do not even know what they are talking about
trying to start a race war?
idiots
this violent and pitiful minority needs to know that the VAST majority of Americans of ALL races work together and that we would NEVER just allow race to tear us apart like that.

 

[WarriorAngel]

Its heartbreaking to the congregations, im sure.
Lord have mercy.
